Jamie Carragher was among the Liverpool legends to praise the team’s performance

And the victory left Liverpool’s legends more than impressed on Wednesday, with the likes of Carragher and Fowler singing the players’ praises.

Former England defender Carragher took to Twitter to praise four players in particular. He wrote: ‘Mane back to his best, Salah’s goal Messiesque, VVD like a man amongst boys & Bobby Dazzler!’

Furthermore, earlier on in the match, Carragher described his former side’s performance as ‘devastating’.

Fowler opted for a more amusing approach, making reference to Valentine’s Day during the Champions League encounter.
